Hepatologists diagnose, treat, and manage problems associated with your liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, and pancreas.

We offers diagnosis and treatment of hepatic diseases, which include issues that affect your:

• Liver

Hepatologists diagnose and treat all manner of liver problems, including:

• Cirrhosis caused by significant scarring on the liver
• Alcohol damage to the liver and alcohol related cirrhosis

• Imaging tests, such as ultrasounds, to identify gallstones, cysts, and tumors
• Cholescintigraphy scans that use small amounts of radioactive material
• Endoscopies performed via long tubes with cameras to help provide images of your hepatic system
